If they were husband and wife, the two of them could take care of each other, and the woman was willing to cook for them.

“Since your sister-in-law has given you instructions, do as she says,” Chu Heng muttered.

“Alright, then Brother Heng, I’ll go straight to the short-term job market to look for someone.” Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xing got on the mule cart and left after speaking to Chu Heng.

After Chu Heng watched him leave, he turned around and walked into the school. Uncle Liu suddenly called out to him, “Scholar Chu, here are some herbal dishes and pastries for you.”

When Chu Heng heard this, his expression did not change and he said coldly, “Uncle Liu, don’t accept it again next time.”

Chu Heng took the things and stuffed a copper coin into Uncle Liu’s hand. He carried the herbal dishes and pastries and walked to the beggar’s nest in the alley of North Street with familiarity. He threw the things away without even looking at them. contemporary romance

“Thank you, Young Master.” The beggars quickly snatched the food over to eat.

Chu Xing came back in the afternoon.

Not only did he help Ye Muyu arrange for the short-term workers, but he also went to the nearby village and bought a lot of broken bowls.

The Chu Clan’s wall was also about to be completed.

The walls were filled with sharp porcelain pieces. Many villagers came over to take a look after they finished their work.

“Sister-in-law, I’ve hired the temporary workers for you. They’ll start working tomorrow.” After Chu Xing returned to the village, he quickly replied to Ye

Muyu.

Ye Muyu asked, “How much does a temporary worker cost per day?”

“Men are 25 copper coins a day, and women are 20 copper coins. However, you need to prepare simple meals.”

It seemed that it was not bad that the price did not increase.

“Did you tell them that we won’t provide food?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Yes, they agreed to you providing ingredients for them to cook themselves.” Chu Xing had Chu Heng’s help, and the person in charge knew Chu Heng and was willing to give him face. When Chu Xing went over, he said that he was Chu Heng’s clan brother. Before they even started to discuss the price, the person directly chose the two short-term workers with the best character who met the conditions and gave them to him. The price was even especially favorable.

Chu Xing had been in the county for so long and knew that these people had always given face to officials and scholars. Even among scholars, these people had different attitudes.

Although he did not know what his attitude towards the other elementary scholars was, Chu Xing could tell that he did not make things difficult for them, did not even want to take advantage of them, and wanted to befriend Chu Heng.

For a moment, he could not help but feel that even he, his clan brother, was being looked up to by others. He felt like the wind was blowing under his feet when he walked.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Ye Muyu passed two egg pancakes to Chu Xing.

Without waiting for him to decline, she placed it in his hand. “You helped me run over. Isn’t it only right for me to give you some food? Take it. Don’t treat me as an outsider. Otherwise, I’ll be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future.”

“Sister-in-law, then…l’ll accept it.” Chu Xing took the food and smiled brightly.

After Chu Xing left, that afternoon, before dark, Chu An and the others finally finished repairing the wall.

Even if Chu Heng stood on his tiptoes, he could not see the situation in the courtyard clearly. Ye Muyu checked the surroundings and felt relieved. She then sent the four away.

After a simple dinner, Ye Muyu stayed in the house and made shoes while thinking about what to plant this year.

The ingredients in Great Chu were basically the same as those in modern times, but there were not many varieties.

Ye Muyu wanted to open a shop, but she only had about twenty taels of silver on hand. According to the Chu Law and the memories with the original host, as well as her conversations with Chu An, Chu Xing, and the others, she roughly knew that buying a shop in the county would cost at least thirty to forty taels..
